Please make the Firefox Developer Edition available as a flatpak on flathub.

All editions on flathub would be great.

I go to great lengths to keep my $HOME directory clean, so I wish it was possible to avoid littering it with ".mozilla". Installing Firefox as a flatpak solves that issue for the stable version, but there's no Developer, nor Nightly flatpak. Really hope we get those, one day.

Sadly, there hasn't been an update on the bugzilla ticket in years.

The only blocking bug is "[flatpak] runme.sh should allow to use custom app id for other release branches"

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1633361

and it appears stalled until a new person takes it up

Please let me test new features please?

Hello, @Jon! Good to see you here again.
Please clarify the status of this idea. It's quite an essential feature for those who are on Linux and would like to help Firefox regardless of the distribution.
I appreciate any help you can provide.

Installation is a roadbump for many devs. If firefox is serious about market share, they need to offer a fast way for devs to install their tools and test it.

I can understand maintenance is an issue, so a flatpak seems like a good middle ground over having deb+rpm+arch repos.

I had the time and patience now, but I don't think I'm going to spend the time to download a tar and update it next time. Sorry, I'll just use my installed chromium the next time.
